7 ABSTRACT This report provides a summary of Dall sheep harvests in game management units where Dall sheep hunts occur. This includes game management units 7, 9, 11 16, 19 20, and During the regulatory cycle the Alaska Board of Game (board) will consider a suite of proposals addressing hunting for Dall sheep. This report has been prepared to inform the board regarding subsistence harvests and uses of Dall sheep in Alaska. The data included in these tables originate from the Division of Wildlife Conservation s Winfonet database, and the Division of Subsistence s Community Subsistence Information System. Key words: Dall sheep, subsistence iii

9 1. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to provide a brief overview of Dall sheep harvests across the state. Included in this report are harvest assessments for each of the game management units (GMU) where the harvest of Dall sheep has been reported. This includes GMUs 7, 9, 11 16, 19 20, and During the regulatory cycle the Alaska Board of Game (board) will consider a suite of proposals addressing hunting for Dall sheep in all statewide game management units (GMUs) where they occur. This report has been prepared to inform the board regarding subsistence harvests and uses of Dall sheep in Alaska. The board has made positive customary and traditional use findings (C&T) and established amounts reasonably necessary for subsistence (ANS) for Dall sheep in GMUs 11, 19, 23, 24, 25A, and 26 (Table 1). Table 1 provides an overview of C&T findings that have been adopted by the board in areas where Dall sheep are generally present and indicates whether a positive or negative determination has been made. C&T findings are not valid in nonsubsistence areas, such as the Anchorage Mat-Su Kenai Peninsula Nonsubsistence Area and the Fairbanks Nonsubsistence Area (Figure 1). 1

12 2. METHODS The data included in these tables originate from the Division of Wildlife Conservation s Winfonet database 1, and the Division of Subsistence s Community Subsistence Information System (CSIS) 2. Harvest data from hunt reports have also been provided in other documents prepared for the board; this report will also provide harvest data from household surveys. The data from Winfonet show the reported number of sheep harvested by year by Alaska residents living in communities in and around each GMU, depending upon typical or expected use areas. The method for collecting wild harvest and use information as reported in the CSIS is a systematic household survey. The surveys used to collect the data shown in the CSIS column of each table were collected either through comprehensive harvest surveys where all resources are recorded or through a directed survey where only a resource category is recorded in this case this would be a big game survey. Household surveys are administered face to face, either in a respondent s home or at a local public area. Surveys enumerate the total number of animals that residents harvest in one calendar year (January 1 December 31). This is the year listed in each column. The researchers document the harvest of wild resources being collected by the survey respondents within the State of Alaska, regardless of where they occur. Therefore, harvests of Dall sheep by residents may not be local but could occur anywhere in the State of Alaska. Figure 1 shows the GMUs in Alaska with Dall sheep hunting opportunities. Dall sheep may be present in only a portion of the many GMUs where regulations provide an opportunity throughout the entire GMU for Alaska residents. In addition to collecting harvest data, the survey instrument collects demographic data; harvest effort, even if a harvest is not made; use; sharing of resources, and, typically, economic data. In addition, mapping has been a standard component of harvest surveys since 2004 and was used in some directed surveys prior to that time. These data are stored in an archive at the Department. Additional information about methods and additional data can be found in the references section of this report, which is broken down by GMU. Included below are 14 tables that show harvest of Dall sheep in GMUs where Dall sheep hunting opportunities occur. The Winfonet data portion of each table was constructed by identifying records where a harvest was indicated. Summary rows for all Alaska residents include all records for a GMU where the residence address included Alaska and also indicated the hunter was a resident. Nonresident subtotals include all hunters who are not Alaska residents. The 10-year harvest average is for , with 2013 representing the most recent year for which data are available. The CSIS portion of the table includes the estimated number of sheep harvested for each year where data were collected. A harvest amount of 0 indicates that a survey was taken for that year, but no harvest was reported. Blank cells indicate no survey has been conducted. The best data column of the table is based only on CSIS data and represents the most recently available harvest survey estimates. This convention assumes the most recent data are the most representative of community hunting patterns as derived from Division of Subsistence household surveys. An additional column has been provided to show the average of each community s CSIS data points. The total area community under the average CSIS column is a sum of averages for each community. This approach assumes each community with data points has a representative average harvest which is totaled to obtain an areawide total. 1.
